Didn't like some of the writing but really it's a great book and I'm being a bit picky

The Book of Lost Things Illustrated Edition by John Connolly

Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.

Picked this up on reccomendation by an online friend. Unfortunately I found it very boring, and didn't care much about the characters, even though the start was really strong.
Also gets so damn heavy-handed with the lessons it's trying to get across.

Could've benefited from being longer, or a different writing style. Often it felt like events were brushed over with barely any detail given so it was harder to be emotionally invested
